Compared to serving in combat overseas, Democrat Aaron Gladd's campaign for state Senate was a walk in the park.
His underdog campaign to succeed retiring GOP Sen. Kathy Marchione was waged without any muscle from Senate Democrats and in a deep red district, where Senate Republicans and special interests spent heavily to keep the seat from flipping hands.
Along the way to a 10,00 vote loss (which was a much closer margin than any recent efforts by Democrats in the district), Gladd picked up the endorsement from former Republican Sen. Roy McDonald, raised a ton of money and (unsuccessfully) tried to bridge the partisan divide.
He joined the podcast to talk about his decision to run, the negative attacks during the campaign, his lack of future political plans and much more.
